● Atari 8-bit game
Jumpy Dino
A playful port of the Chrome Dino endless-runner idea for the Atari 8-bit platform, created as an assembly-language experiment with simple graphics, jump controls, and a bit of arcade energy.
What it is
A compact Atari 8-bit adaptation of the famous endless runner, focused on jumping over
obstacles and surviving as long as possible.
Why it matters
It mixes classic arcade feel with low-level 6502 programming and a strong “just one more run”
spirit.
Status
Ongoing experiment and personal tribute to the original idea, with room to grow into a richer
game.
About the project
This project started as a fun challenge: take the spirit of the Chrome Dino game and reimagine it for Atari 8-bit hardware. The result is a small but charming endless runner built around simple controls, a rising score, and the satisfaction of making a tiny game feel alive on a retro machine.
What makes it fun
- Jump over obstacles with a simple one-button feel.
- Compact game loop that fits the spirit of a retro arcade challenge.
- Low-level assembly approach that keeps the project playful and experimental.
